Custodial History
According to accession records, the materials related to the play Where the Blue Begins (folders 1-2), as well as the Gamma Chi Sigma minutes (folder 17), belonged to Janet Bell's sister, Alice Bell Fincke (who is credited in the play program as assistant to the director and was a member of Gamma Chi Sigma). The play script and related items were originally delivered by Janet Bell to the Hawaiian Collection, which forwarded them to Archives.
